Suffering and distress is the accumulation of thoughts contrary to wellness. We live our lives subconsciously, not paying any attention to our thoughts and actions. Then one day an awakening presents itself bringing us back to reality. The reality presents itself with aches and pain, or emotional pain, so subtle we don’t recognize it at first. If we can be conscientious from the start, we would avoid trouble and distress down the trail. Being conscientious starts with an awareness we create life or death, failure or success. Therefore, contemplate health and wealth, to bring about its very essence. Danny G.
Choices That Lead Us Back Home
We all have unique gifts and talents to achieve our purpose, and most importantly to be happy. Everything we want, we want it for one reason, to be happy. We can say essentially it’s happiness leading us, because whenever we want something, it’s because we believe it will bring us joy.
The problem lies when we focus so much on the chaotic world, and our own distress. We focus on it until we lose our alignment, then we allow our thoughts of pessimism to consume us. Optimism and pessimism sets the course for our life, as it’s a choice, which sets things into motion, for our well-being or lack. Being fortunate or unfortunate, is a choice, and perception changes everything. Faith, joy, dread, and fear are all choices, defining who we are, and ultimately setting the stage for the arrival.
The choice is ours to our awaken, as pessimism and optimism fights to win its course. Choose joy, which sparks the flame, and ultimately leads you back home. Danny G.
Affirmations
What are affirmations and why do they work? Think about your thoughts and the words you speak for a minute. What are they? Your thoughts and words are a stream of affirmations and beliefs. Every thought you think and every word you speak, you’re affirming what you know about the subject, and how you feel about the subject.
When you’re feeling depressed, you’re affirming you’re depressed for a variety of reasons which are all affirmations. When you’re feeling fear, you’re affirming the very reasons that make you fearful.
If you never work at changing your thoughts or words they will remain or become your beliefs and expectations, which will become your reality in time. You must make an effort at changing your thoughts and words, or it’s the experiences and circumstances in your life that will decide for you. For without a change in thoughts, life remains.
How can your life change if you don’t change your thoughts, and your affirmations? If your life would change regardless of your persistent fear and depression, that would mean thoughts and words have no power, which defies logic and law.
What happens when you speak a positive affirmation is that you interrupt the negative thought and you focus on a new thought of what you want to experience rather than the opposite of what you want. What God has given us is a tool to take charge of a situation and our lives. The tool makes sense because if we continue to dwell only on thoughts of fear or depression, we will remain in this state and we will eventually attract what we fear and what we’re depressed about.
Even if you have that thing you want, would you be happy to have it if you were dwelling only on thoughts of fear or depression? Essentially, you have two options, allow the adversity to speak for itself and take you wherever it leads, or you can speak to the adversity and to yourself, which inevitably changes your reality.
In order to change a thought you must introduce a new thought. When you introduce a new thought, you may not believe it yet, but what happens is when you keep on repeating it you’re not thinking so much of the old thought and you’re focusing on a new train of thought.
We can not have a life without thought, nor can there be a universe without thought, since this would defy all logic and the laws of the universe. How can we create without thought? Isn’t every idea from thought? Doesn’t all action and words stem from thoughts?
Now ask yourself this, how much impact do my thoughts have over my life? If you say my thoughts have no power over the unfolding of my life, then you’re saying your life is predetermined, and that you have no control. What control do you have other than your thoughts? What moves you to action other than your thoughts? If you say your thoughts have partial control over the unfolding of your life, then you’re saying your life is partially under your control. If you say your thoughts have complete control over the unfolding of your life, then you can say I am in control.
As we speak affirmations, we move towards the new thought because we speak about it and act on it. As before you were thinking, speaking and acting on your old beliefs but now you’re thinking, speaking and acting on a new belief.
So next time you face a dilemma or you feel inadequate, change your affirmations and know that the very things you’re affirming will inevitably become your reality, and know that the process will unfold just as you spoke it into being.
